saturday's market

we had a market on saturday, and managed to bring 22 bags of greens picked in the greenhouse (spinach and some salad mix). they sold out by 3:05 (the market officially opens at 3). people really want fresh greens at this time of year. i felt bad that for the rest of the market we had nothing on the table except for turnips. i kept appologizing to people for not having more...
soon enough though, there will be plenty of fresh vegetables again. although with all the snow that's still on the ground, we will be delayed somewhat in planting. our plan was to start planting in the ground next week, but that won't happen. we have to wait until the snow melts, and then another few weeks for the ground to be dry enough to work. working the soil when it is too wet is really bad practice. it ruins the soil organic matter. so we'll have to wait, but i hope not too long.
peace
